Need help on Unit Creation

[Malachus]

Hey everyone, I have been modding my game for some time now, doing basic stuff like adding in new factions, changing borders, and copy and pasting units to make new ones. But I'd like to know how to create completely new unit BIF's as well as animations. I hope you guys can help me out. If there's anything I want to mod more than anything else, it'd be this. Thanks in advance.

While waiting for the "heavy cavalry" to give you solid info, here's if you
have downloaded the Readbif tool and have a BMP ready in say Paint Shop:
NEW BIFS WITH READBIF
I'm (still) making all the bifs with Readbif. BMPtoBIF: Open Readbif window /
File...new BIF / File...Import Frame from BMP / File...Save BIF / Close before
next bif (!!!). Really fast if using default file names and folders BIFtoBMPtoBIF.
Remember to edit BMP palette index 0 to transp. (0,128,0) in Paint Shop.
NOTE ON READBIF BLACKSPOTS:
Black spots (pixels) will occur in 1 and 2 pixel transparent gaps, unless the
transparent gap is the leftmost pixels. So check for bad gaps and modify:
- Increase a transparent gap to 3 pixels, or remove it.
or
- Use an identical colour for 3 pixels before the gap (or 2 after transp. pixels).
Small shields: Enter 17 (not 18) as the new bif width, to simplify re-colouring.
ALSO
Read every sticky written by Lysander and see if you prefer the Seqgrab tool.

(Hopefully this wasn’t beside the point, I’m leaving tomorrow for a month)

You can't have units over 200 men or the game will crash.
